The good old red and blue!
Vascular lesions, that we’re referring to here, are
small visible vessels that are par.ally branched, or
in nests, and are found directly below the skin
surface. Initially hey are not an actual disease, but
more of a cosmetic problem. However, they may
be an indicator for venous / arterial discharge
disorders or other diseases.
Couperose, for
example, is a conspicuous red color with enlarged veins in the cheek and nose area, which is referred to as rosacea and is represented by inflamed pustules or papules. The rosacea occurs due to a disorder of the sebaceous glands and vessels, and is caused by over-coloniza.on of the hair folliclemite Desmodex folliculorum. Read more…
As Natural as ever!
Modern medicine does not have a really good solution with its classical hormone replacement therapy in the form of synthetic hormone analogues. Neither can one be satisfied with the therapeutic success, nor can one tolerate the considerable side effect potential and the danger of long-term consequences.
It repeatedly causes negative headlines: both thromboses in connection with the pill, as well as increase in cardiovascular diseases and certain tumors in hormone replacement therapy in the peri- and postmenopause are focused on. Read more…
Silky Smooth!
Botulinum wrinkle smoothing
Botulinum is a protein and is produced by a special strain of the rod-shaped bacterium Clostridium botulinum under anaerobic conditions. The medically used botulinum is produced in a very complex process by a few well-known companies in Germany, Ireland and the USA. Wrinkle treatment with botulinum is performed on an outpatient basis.
The substance is injected into the desired muscle area by the doctor using a fine needle. The treatment, including consultation, takes about half an hour. There may be redness or slight swelling in the treated area for a few minutes. Immediately thereafter, the patient can return to work or engage in other activities. Read more…

Defying gravity!
Double chin and sagging cheeks follow gravity and arise in many people over the years as our face changes from a V-shape to an A-shape. The skin becomes flabby, tissue slides down. This can be remedied by gently dissolving the small or larger fat deposits. This can be done using the so-called fat-gone injection (injection lipolysis), as well as through cryolipolysis.
With both procedures, it takes 8-12 weeks for the process to complete. The downtime when using the fat-gone injection is up to a week (redness and swelling), whilst the Cryolipolyse therapy causes only a slight swelling for a few days, though it is only possible to treat a double chin and not sagging cheeks.
Don’t let yourself hang!
What is a thread lift, what is Silhouette Soft®?
With thread lifting, sagging skin parts (neck, chin, cheeks, cheeks, nasolabial fold, eyebrows) can be lifted and hanging skin can be tightened without surgery.
Silhouette Soft® is suitable for all skin types.
Silhouette Soft® is recommended for men and women over the age of 30 years who want to fight the signs of aging without undergoing surgery. Read more…
Streamlined!
Injection lipolysis (fat-gone injection), radiofrequency and cellulite
The injection lipolysis or “fat-gone injection” for the treatment of localized fat pads. Please read the information of the Network Lipolysis and this PDF (in German only).
The radiofrequency technique can effectively improve or eliminate wrinkles and sagging skin. The method is gentle, there is no downtime after the treatment, and you can do the usual activities immediately after. The high-frequency radio waves warm the subcutaneous tissue. This leads to a collagen renewal. The skin becomes firmer, wrinkles are alleviated. For an optimal result 4 to 8 treatments are necessary every few weeks. It is possible to smooth out the face, neck and décolleté effectively. Radiofrequency Therapy improves sagging skin on upper arms, abdomen, buttocks or thighs.
It ensures a risk-free and painless treatment.
Cellulite is a herniation (protrusion) of the adipose tissue through the connective tissue septa in the typical visible form – also called orange peel, which occurs due to the anatomical conditions of the female connective tissue. The only really effective treatment is the surgical transection of these septa with simultaneous liposuction. However, this is associated with risks (possible damage to nerves and lymphatics in the surgically treated area). Non-surgical measures can achieve improvement at the early stages.
Read about cellulite the field reports and information of the Network Lipolysis and the Network Aesthetics Meso and in this PDF (in German only).
Hair!
Alopecia contentionalis (AC) – tension hair loss
Androgenetic alopecia is a genetically determined hypersensitivity of the hair roots to male hormones (androgens) and to its precursor DHT (dihydrotestosterone). The levels of testosterone and also DHT in the blood do not always reflect their content on the hair roots.
On the basis of androgenetic alopecia, additional stress factors, such as occupational or private stress, childbirth, menopause and other stressors, cause a strong, permanent tension of the head muscles.
This tension reduces the supply of blood, oxygen and nutrients to the hair root cell to such an extent that normal biological processes can no longer function completely. DHT is stored. The hair root becomes keratinized. The hair falls out. As such it leads to a clearing of certain areas, sporadically or over longer periods. This is caused by miniaturization of the hair, which shrink from strong hair to unpigmented downy hair. Read more…
Bald is beautiful!
The basis of photoepilation (selective photothermolysis) is the absorption of light into pigmented structures of the hair follicle and thus a thermal impairment or destruction of the same. Target chromophore is eumelanin, which is present in brown and black hair.
For the realization of a selective absorption in the hair follicle,the hair must either be sufficiently pigmented,and have a certain minimum thickness, or the irradiation parameters used must allow for enough energy to be applied to the follicle. Read more…
Beam it!
Like all organs, the skin is also affected by the aging process. The signs of aging already show in the late twenties, early thirties. First, fine lines form between the nose and mouth, around the eyes and on the forehead – the first wrinkles appear. The causes are external influences, but also lifestyle and facial expressions. Through repeated repetitive facial movements first mimic wrinkles are formed:
Smile lines, forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet. The cause is a loss of elasticity because the dermis produces less and less collagen and elastin fibers. This leads to a weakening of the connective tissue and to a relaxation of the skin. The results are wrinkles that remain visible as the aging process progresses, even when the face is relaxed.

Skin galore!
The suppleness and youthful freshness of the skin is based above all on a body-own substance, the hyaluronic acid. Its most important function is to absorb and bind water.
The products used byPraxis Dr. Meier are
Allergan (Juvederm), Teoxane (Teoysal) and Croma (Saphya), which are stabilized gels, biodegradable, of non-animal origin that are produced under carefully controlled conditions under a patented process. Read more…
Caught out in the cold!
Cryolipolysis – Non-operative fat cell treatment by cold
Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive treatment that treats local fat deposits with targeted cold. The original US method has been used for many years, especially in aesthetics. Clinical studies have shown that fat cells are particularly vulnerable to cold. The treatment takes advantage of this vulnerability to treat the corresponding fat pad gently. The surrounding tissue does not experience damage.
Advantages
No anastheasia needed
No operation needed, no scarring
Short downtime (sport possible in principle on the same day)
High customer satisfaction
Gentle on the skin and pain free
The application is carried out by ergonomically designed cold applicators, which draw the desired area into the applicator with a vacuum and cool it down to temperatures of up to -9 degrees for about 60-70 minutes. A specially developed anti-cold tissue applied to the skin protects it and the surrounding tissue.
Through the cooperation with ICE AESTHETIC we can rely on the experience won in over 30.000 treatments. The medicall CRISTAL cryolipolysis tool, which we use, is one of the best and safest on the market, and has successfully used in France for many years by multiple dermatologists, plastic-aesthetic surgeons and general physicians.

Luscious Lips
Full, beautifully curved lips are the epitome of sensuality, beauty and eroticism. Small, thin lips can seem slightly severe, pinched and old. Unfortunately, many people lose the volume of their lips in old age, as the fatty tissue gradually decreases.
The easiest way to shape the mouth you desire, is the injection of the lips with a filling substance such as hyaluronic acid, which is slowly broken down by the body over time. The effect is visible immediately.
The most commonly used materials are hyaluronic acids. They also occur in the human body and are well tolerated.
Since the treatment would be painful, an anesthetic cream is applied to the lips in advance, so that no pain is felt.
Duration of treatment success
Depending on the substance, the duration is between three and 24 months, based on personal habits and the individual speed, in which the body degrades the material again. For people who smoke heavily or often expose themselves to the sun and the solarium, the materials degrade faster.
The cost of the treatment depends on the quality and quantity of the material required and the skill of the individual practitioner.
What Nofretiti did!
The Liquid Lifting (8 Punkte Lift oder Nofretete Lift) gives the face the volume and the skin the elasticity that they once had.
It describes a facial composition through a combination of several procedures: the smoothing of mimic muscles, the filling of volume deficits and the tightening of skin through
heat or other surface treatment.
It allows immediate, natural “beautyfication” without scalpel or surgery Read more…
A little prick with great effect!
Mesotherapy refers to the very small amounts of active substances that are injected into the most superficial layer of the skin. This may be hyaluronic acid (uncrosslinked or minimally crosslinked), but also vitamin cocktails or PRP (platelet-rich plasma). The skin reacts to the minor injuries with collagen synthesis on the one hand, whilst on the other hand the introduced active ingredients increase the resilience and skin vitality with a reduction of the smallest wrinkles. For minimally cross-linked hyaluronic acids (for example
from the supplier Juvederm, you can expect a result after the treatment that lasts up to 8 months. Mesotherapy can also be used in the scalp area. There, too, vitamins or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) are injected, in this case to stimulate hair growth. The PRP contains the body’s own growth factors that can reactivate the hair roots. As a booster, it is recommended to perform at least 3 treatments at intervals of 1 month.
Time to heal old wounds!
Scarring can be psychologically stressful and stigmatizing for those affected, sometimes also leading to functional limitations. This is the case, for example, with keloids (excessive scarring without “stop signal”). An operation leads to ever new Keloids forming and thereby to worse and worse results.
Probably the best currently available method with almost 95% cure rate is intralesional cryotherapy, in which the liquid nitrogen scar tissue is flash frozen inside out using a special needle (Cryoshape) and then painlessly drops from the newly formed healthy skin in an inflammatory response.
